The Spokane Empire, riding a three-game winning streak, face the Nebraska Danger at 7 p.m. Saturday in Week 6 of the Indoor Football League season.

It’s the first and only regular-season matchup between the teams.

The Danger (3-2), fresh off a 55-23 thumping of Colorado on March 25, boast the No. 1 scoring offense in the IFL at 52.6 points per game. Nebraska is led by quarterback Derrick Bernard, who is first in the IFL in rushing touchdowns (11) and fourth in passing touchdowns (14). Dimitri Stimphill is second in receiving yards per game (66.0) and receiving touchdowns (nine).

Spokane, in the middle of a three-game homestand, dispatched Salt Lake 53-36 at the Arena on March 24.
